    NHFA Webinar – Sacred Connections: Designing Home Funerals as Ritual Acts

    Virtual Event

  • Fear of Death

    Virtual Event

    Thanatophobia is the fear of death. It can involve fear of the dying process (often a fear of pain or discomfort), fear of the afterlife (or lack thereof), fear of being forgotten, fear that life is meaningless, and fear of missing out! This month we will be talking about our fears around our own deaths, how we manage them, and how we don't! Queer Death Salon is a community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space, with the purpose of building connection, skill, and resources for […]

    “It’s Complicated” – Support Group

    Childfree By Choice & Grieving

    Virtual Event

    It’s not a given that everyone who is childfree by choice is 100%, unabashedly content with the decision. While we may be set in our choice, there can still be grief there. I know there is for me. It’s a both-and/two truths situation. Many of us make this choice for a lot of unfortunate, depressing, and/or systemic reasons, and I created this space where we can be with our truths, and hurts, around it all. Our monthly peer-led Zoom group is intended to be a space for people who have chosen not to have children. It is not intended to […]

  • Dead People’s Stuff

    Virtual Event

    The dead can leave behind so much stuff, from a few sentimental items, to entire homes stuffed to the brim. What to do with it can be complex and filled with conflicting emotions. This is a space to explore our relationships with the physical objects left behind by the dead, what to keep, what to pass on, what we are having hard feelings about, and what we celebrate. Queer Death Salon is a community space for all 2SLGBTQIA+ people to come together to discuss death, dying and grief. It is a facilitated drop-in discussion space, with the purpose of building […]

    “It’s Complicated” Support Group

    Virtual Event

    A monthly peer-led Zoom group for people who had a strained relationship with someone who’s died. It can be tough to be in a group with other folks who were close with their parent, sibling, grandparent, partner, co-parent, friend, etc. As much as I like for there to be a range of experiences represented in grief groups, so that we can hear diverse perspectives, sometimes it is nice to be with people who “get it.” When addiction, mental health challenges, conflict, estrangement, abuse, etc. were a part of the picture, it can affect the grief journey in unique ways. This […]
